Origin/meaning

Ellingen was a possession of the Teutonic Order until 1806 and did not have its own arms or seals. On July 18, 1817 the present arms were granted. The cross was used as a symbol for the Order, but both the shape and colour were changed. The present colours are the Bavarian colours.

The municipal stamp shown in 1892	The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
The arms in the Deutsches Wappenmuseum
